AUBURN, Cal, September NJ, 1887.
EDS. HEcoBD- The usually quiet
yet sensitive town of Auburn, to inauerces
affecting her material growth a1d prosper
ity, is now being palpabiy agitated by the
great boom " pervading the State |
thought the many readers of the RECORD
UNION should know that the boom is really
here; that choice town lots for building
purposes are in great demand New and
attractive residences are being erected, sur
rounding property rapidly increasing in
value, county ranches eagerly soaght after,
business improving, hotels well filled, priv
ate dwelling sal occupied, stores all rented
and the people more happy III anticipation
of the promising future.
The fact is, that not only the fair town of
Auburn, but the entire county, has long
been deserving ofa boom, for her resources
are far more abundant and superior to
some localities where the excitement and
demand for property has been more in
tense. They are not only varied, but ex-
tensive.. and wonderfully rich. The soil
is highly productive. Grain, fruit
of all varieties and finest quality, and all
kinds Of vegetation are grown in abuu-
dance, with less labor and expense than in
many portions of the State
The fine display of fruit exhibited at the
fairs, the awards bestowed, is conclusive
evidence that Placer in many respects is
| unsurpassed as fruit-growing county.
The mining interests here have of late
greatly improved, by reason of new and
rich discoveries being frequently made
Quartz mining in various portions of the
county has never been more hourishing
than at the present time. Old diggins
and mines that were abandoned have been
relocated and re-opened, and made good
paving property by The employment OF new
inventions and improved methods for
working and saving gold.
OF course it would be inexcusable and
in violation Of an established custom not
to extol our glorious climate Now of this
We are blessed with bountiful supply.

that at this altitude we are favored with

And from them the whole lind of. their
valleys is watered by percolation. From
this sub-irrigation there is no crop failure.
When other sections suffer from drought
these soils are plentifully watered and
yield good crops. Everywhere at the
level of the water in these streams the best
of well water is found. At depth Of
from twenty to forty feet river gravel is
struck, and unfailing filtered water is
obtained
ARTESIAN WELLS
All this section is in the flowing artesian
well belt. At stockton, a few miles distant
many artesian wells have been struck, and
a large and steady flow of pure water in
every instance has been obtained. This is
an advantage of the utmost importance.
1t means a bright, clear creek on every
mans land. 1t means running water in
every field, in barns and corrals, and it
means yard around the house filled with
the green of spring and banks of bright
flowers during the year. Land in flow

NUMEROUS IRRIGATING DIrCHES
Are being constructed which will bring
water to every acre of land in this section.

W. Fairchild. There is plenty of
water in the Mokelumne river at r
all seasons of the wear; at low
water the flow is nearly l,500 cubic
feet per second, and in June it is
$500 cubic feet per second. The
width of this canal will be 80 feet
on the bottom and 45 feet on the
surface and the depth 6 feet This
will carry water to irrigate all the
land north and south of the Moke-

We came again among innumerable
flowers, and few miles further fields of
the blue fowered lupine. We have found
this beautiful shrub i'll thickets, some of
them being twelve feet in height. Occas-
ionally three or four plants were clustered
together, forming grand bouquet, about
ninety feet in circumference and ten feet
high the whole summit covered with
spikes of flowers, the perfume of which is
very sweet and grateful. a lover of natural
beauty can imagine with what pleasure we
rode among these Towering groves, which
filled the air with light and delicate
fragrance.
1--WE continued on our road, interspersed
through an open grove of live oaks, which,
in form, We're the most symmetrical and
beautiful we had yet seen in the country.
The ends of their branches rested on the
ground, forming somewhat more than a half
sphere of very full and regular figures,
with leaves apparently smaller than usual.
The California poppy, of a rich orange
color, was numerous. To-day elk and ante
lope made their appearance. Our road
was now one continued enjoyment, and it
was pleasant, riding among the assemblage
of green pastures with varied flowers and
scattered groves, and out of the warm green
spring to look at the grand rocky and snowy
peaks, high above in the distance

THE RATE OF TAXATION
Is an important matter for the
consideration of the homeseeker
and the capitalist in seeking for
homes or for investment. The
taxation of San Joaquin county is
the lowest in the State, the rate
being only one dollar on the hun
,lred.
The late increase of wealth in
the county has been very great,
nearly doubling in the last ten
years. 1t is now one of the richest

this region. = ,aftS
The rainfall here averages about 20
inches. 1t commences in October and
continues in showers till June. This
is called the rainy season but the stranger
must not think that there is any season of
continuous down-pour as there is'in some
other countries of wet and dry seasons.
The rainy season here is much ike the
spring rains of New York and Ohio.
THE DRY SEASON
Usually commences in June and continues
till November, and it is a succession of
clear, cloudleSS days. September, October,
November and December form enc long
Indian summer. When the autumn show
ers come, the temperature is such that the
grass springs up, the flowers blossom, and
the whole earth is covered with vernal
bloom. The groves are vocal with the
songs Of birds, and the air is filled aud the
streams covered with the wild fowl that
have come here from the cold and in,or-
pitable north and east. The young grain
waves in the wind animals Craze ON the
new grass of the pastures, children play
out doors, and in the fields are busy scenes
of plowing, narrowing and seeding. This
is picture true to the life in the country
around Lodi.
